“…To establish authenticity, a number of chromatographic methods (Arvanitoyannis & Vlachos, 2007;Brodnjak-Voncina, Kodba, & Novic, 2005;Marcos Lorenzo, Pérez Pavón, Fernández Laespada, García Pinto, & Moreno Cordero, 2002;Mariani, Bellan, Lestini, & Aparicio, 2006;Mildner-Szkudlarz & Jelen, 2008) and spectroscopic techniques including fluorescence (Sikorska, Górecki, Khmelinskii, Sikorski, & Koziol, 2005), FTNIR (Yang, Irudayaraj, & Paradkar, 2005), FTIR (Yang et al, 2005), FTRaman (Yang et al, 2005), NMR (Dais & Spyros, 2007;García-González, Mannina, D Imperio, Segre, & Aparicio, 2004;Zamora, Gómez, Dobarganes, & Hidalgo, 2002) and mass spectrometry (MS, Lay, Liyanage, Durham, & Brooks, 2006;; Lerma-García, Simó-Alfonso, Marcos Lorenzo et al, 2002) followed by multivariate statistical analysis of the data, have been applied. Other techniques, such as calorimetry (Chiavaro, Vittadini, Rodriguez-Estrada, Cerretani, & Bendini, 2008) have been also used.…”
